Giant pregnant(?) cat hijacked my garage

OP
OP
She's been in my garage for three hours, not up in the rafters.
She was originally perched on the garage door, which probably would have crushed had I not heard her meowing before I pushed the button.
I opened the side door for her to leave but she just stood there the entire time, so I just waited while I did my laundry and she just sat there. then she went into the ceiling when she heard my dogs barking.
I got two big doggos and one of them aint friendly with small animals.
I put out some sausage on the floor before I went to get the ladder, when I came back she was on the floor and eating it then saw me with the ladder and fled back up into the rafters again....
she's not stuck she's where she wants to be I guess....
I put out some more suasage, went back to call the fire dept and they told me that since im not the owner to just leave the cat alone and it'll go away on it's own and call back if it's still there tomorrow. :/
When I came back the sausage was gone and she was back in the rafters again....
so...she aint stuck....
but I took some precautions at least
She's stuck again!
I know everyone loves kittens and stories where mama cats get curled in a blanket by the fire and just splurts out a dozen tiny goo babies, but she probably knows what she's doing. Joe is handling this right. All she needs is a bit of water and some peace so she can do her thing.
Is she stuck up there? If she isn't then I guess try to coax her down if you can.
Congrats on the new cat.

You've got it backwards. OP has just paid the cat his first rent payment. She is the landlord now.
Because she went up there herself doesn't mean she's not stuck. See when a cat gets stuck up a tree, a roof, a pylon do you think they were put there by someone? Incredible as it may seem when cats do get stuck they tend to have got themselves into that position. Get a ladder and get the cat down for goodness sake.
A sacrifice was made.

Picture of OP getting ready to climb the ladder.
I went up with the ladder, but I wasnt certain if she was friendly or willing
so I sent in a decoy.
He did not survive...
Good for you, but maybe he or she's not as experienced? Didn't know if a cat was capable of getting itself down?
If they truly didn't care, they would have just ignored it, so clearly they don't want to see it hurt or worse.
Oh my. Thanks for keeping us updated OP.
But seriously some of y'all should try to calm down a bit.

If you put something stable, large and high enough (a chair on a table or some such) and maybe a bowl of water or food and leave, she will probably come down eventually. If she meows while you are gone it means she is asking for help. At that point you could try using a ladder.
Also, the cat going there itself so it's not stuck, do you think cats get parachuted in trees?

Since it ain't stuck and will happily come down for food I imagine the cat will be leaving sooner or later.
That owner seems almost scared of his own cat lol.

How do people read a thread like this without looking for updates from the OP?

That could have been you, you have to approach this cat like it's a boss from Dark Souls.
I don't get this advice from the fire department, unless somebody in your area owns the cat and it returns there soon. If its an ownerless pregnant cat I think calling animal control or something similar that makes sure the birth goes okay and kittens are cared for would be better.
Well, if it isnt just a fat cat lol.
